How to Call In the Aquarius New Moon

New Moons are potent times to forge alliances with the gods. Open yourself to their touch. Bow and make an offering. Humans have been rendezvousing with these archetypes for thousands of years. When you call out to the gods, they do respond.

Call in Aquarius this month by breaking out of your box! Wake up from the midwinter slumber of your limitations. Your inner genius is ready for a revolution. Is there someplace you’ve been feeling stuck? If you’re not living the life you want, what else has your spirit been longing to do?

No sign has a greater connection to the future than Aquarius. It energizes progress, innovation and breakthroughs. But first you’ve got to clear out all the musty, droopy, angry, wimpy, static energy of the recent past. The inner and outer spaces mirror each other. If your work has been uninspired, rearrange your office and throw out old papers. If family relationships are not as harmonious as you like, give your home a top-to-bottom cleaning.

A simple ritual for this New Moon is to become your own Water-bearing Angel. Fill an atomizer or spray bottle with energetically charged water. Charge the water by placing a crystal in it for at least 24 hours (before that, clean the crystal by soaking it in a bowl of salt or under the sun’s rays).

If you’re familiar with Dr. Masaru Emoto’s work, you know that writing positive intentions on the water bottle (“grace,” “radiance,” “fertility,” “passion,” or “peace”) will further charge the water molecules. Dip a sprig of pine in the water to double its energetic potency. Pine is purifying–it smells clean too! On the day of the New Moon, visit all the rooms in your house and mist them with your ritual water. You should notice the difference instantly! Enjoy the newly charged air. Be alert. New inspirations may come pouring in.

That’s your offering. Waiting for Aquarius to answer back is the fun part. No way can I predict it for you. But if you’re edgy, itchy, and irritated, know that you’ve been touched. If you find yourself shouting “No!” to something you’ve tolerated too long, Aquarius may be prodding you. Or you might be suddenly inspired to figure out all those gizmos you’ve received as gifts. Or maybe you need a new appliance or two.

Aquarius is THE cycle to upgrade your life. Take advantage of the latest technologies. Gadgets may seem like a tame way to celebrate this brilliant deva-but they are potent emblems of the possible human and its divinely inspired capacities. With a digital device you can instantly connect with the world. With your Aquarian genius, you might log onto the brilliance of the universe.

Do you long for a more intimate connection with the sky? Let 2019 be the year you act on this desire. You’ll find exquisite guidance and support my monthly Moon Workshop here. Deepen your relationship with the heavens and yourself!

Hi Dana! New Moon in Aquarius conjunct Saturn on my MidHeaven. Heaven in the heavens! Love your story. Calling in a Ganymede to help me in my personal and professional life. I too want to serve in a big way but also be able to come home to the ones I love. If that’s only me… well, so be it. But I hope not. 🙂

Happy new moon day!!

OMG this just hit me! I didn’t do a formal ritual for this moon but I’ve spent the month actively spring cleaning the house and yard and doing feng shui for career improvement and new beginnings. Almost under my radar, because it took just about zero effort on my part, my home office is shipping me a new laptop! It’s supposed to arrive today. Thanks so much, Dana, for writing these pieces and encouraging us to think about the deeper flow!

I am in the weirdest space I’ve been for a long time. Help! It started yesterday — so tired from disappointments and work of the day that I forgot to do the New Moon ritual, indeed, I forgot it was the New Moon, which I was looking forward to. I remembered it this morning, with an “Oh, NOOO!” What can I do to make this up to the gods, goddesses, Aquarius and myself?

The gods live in timeless time; you can make it up to them whenever your intentions are sincere. (I always do my New Moon rituals “sometime” during the New Moon period, when it’s appropriate for my flow. I don’t think the gods mind a bit.)
